CAIRO - The United States on Friday called on eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar to stop his offensive on the capital held by the internationally recognized government and warned against Russian interference.
Haftar’s Libyan National Army has been trying since April to take Tripoli, part of a power struggle in the oil producing nation since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. “The United States calls on the ‘Libyan National Army’ to end its offensive on Tripoli,” the U.S. State Department said in statement late on Thursday after a visit to Washington by the Tripoli-based foreign and interior ministers.“The U.S. delegation, representing a number of U.S. government agencies, underscored support for Libya’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia’s attempts to exploit the conflict against the will of the Libyan people,” the statement said.
President Donald Trump called Haftar in the first weeks of the offensive, which has failed to breach Tripoli’s defenses, in a move that some diplomats took as sign Washington might be backing the former Gaddafi officer.
Greater and more robust direct-action Russian Military Involvement is what Libya needs. Nigeria too must invite poste-haste direct-action Russian Military Involvement against Boko Haram. French offers to help DRC in Ituri are akin to the hyena's offer to guard the goat-herd!
of course...let erdog screw up the situation there with drone attacks & weapons distributions while there is a U.N arms embargo & erdog's collaboration with ultra-islamic 'legal' gov't which makes $$$ 2 ways, with trafficking & cutting deals with italy for holding back immigrants
After Erdogan’s visit to White House .............
I wish so ....as he was warned many times and still all countries was backing his attack on the capital .....
Just what Libya needs. More American intervention

The battle for Tripoli could be decided by the MadkhalisMore than 1,000 people have been killed in the battle for Tripoli. A little-known group of Salafists may tip the balance Yeah, but at least we came, we saw, he died. I'm sure this is just an unintentional consequence of Obama's policy of bombing states unprovoked. 🤐 Madkhalis are just shills for Saudi policy 😒
